Nano keeps pausing itself.

My Nano started acting funky last night. It keeps pausing itself during playback. I did a restore and it worked fine for a couple of hours, now it's back to pausing itself. Any suggestions?

It's happening to me as well with podcasts. It also goes into a skipping mode as if I were holding the forward button down. Even toggling the hold button to it's red setting doesn't stop this behavior. I've reset it three times. The first time it helped for a while. Yesterday it didn't help at all. Today I tried toggling the hold button and resetting. I don't know if that is different than just resetting without first toggling hold button as I was doing yesterday. It's working properly at the moment. We'll see if it lasts this time. I've listened to the same tracks on my iPhone and they are working fine there, so it's not a problem with the podcasts.
For what it's worth, the "OK to disconnect" screen lingers a fair while before you can do anything with the iPod after unplugging - possibly a minute or more.

Why does my ipod nano keep pausing about 10's seconds into a song

when my ipod nano 8Gb is plugged into my computer works fine. but when i unplug it it plays for abt 10=20 seconds and then it pauses..very annoying. anyone know how to fix before i throw it against a wall?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

My new 7th gen nano keeps pausing in the middle of songs

This is the second time I've had this problem. I just returned the other (new) nano to Amazon, and now this one (replacement) has the same problem. Could it be a computer virus? Other family iPods (not gen 7) play just fine.

Is the iPod motionless (like on a table) when you use it for the fitness class? Is anything able to touch its screen or side buttons?
If you are connecting the iPod to an external speaker, does this problem ever happen when you are using your iPod normally, using your headphones?
It seems like the iPod is somehow getting the command to pause, even when you are not doing it intentionally. That command can come from the screen, from the side (center) button, or from the cord. If it's happening randomly, you may want to have the iPod checked, under warranty if it's less than one-year from purchase date. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar.
NOTE: There is also a feature called Shake to Shuffle. It doesn't sound like that is being activated, but you may want to turn OFF that feature to see if it makes any difference. I have it turned OFF, because it is annoying when it happens at "random" times when I move my iPod in a certain way.

Why does my Gen 7 ipod nano keep pausing?

I've owned a Gen 7 iPod nano for a month now as a go-to MP3 player for work (we can't use our phones to listen to music due to cell phone abuse that's happened). Everything seemed fine until about 2-3 weeks ago I found that my music kept spontaneously pausing. Ok so I figured that maybe I hit the button on the side so I used the remote on my earbuds to continue playing. Another slight move and the thing pauses again. I quickly discovered that the slightest movement of the earbud jack triggers this thing to pause the music.
I then thought it was the headphones and perhaps the remote causing it to glitch. So I went and bought a cheap basic pair of earbuds (Sennheisers) without the remote only to find that the pausing is still going on. I've cleaned out the jack numerous times and it is still doing it. Any idea why this is happening? Seems like this is a known issue as I've seen that others ran into this. Why would Apple continue to let faulty product to be sold? For $140, I would have expected this to last longer, now thinking I should have stuck with a cheapo MP3 player from Walmart as it would have probably lasted longer
Are there any fixes to this or should I retire this practically new 'pod (and get my hard-earned cash back) and move onto something better? I'm now kind of weary of buying Apple devices if this is the kind of performance I'm going to get from it.

Nano keeps pausing song

Hello. I'm wondering if I can get some help. My new Nano works great except that it occasionally will pause the song during playback. At first, I thought it was a sensitive wheel but it even does it when the Hold is on. Just wondering if there is something I can do? Thanks.

Yes, it will erase all data on the iPod including the OS, but when you connect it with a computer, it will be treated as an USB mass storage or a hard drive. Once you do the Restore (you will be asked to do so, when you connect your iPod with a computer), it will add the OS back with the iPod
By formatting the HD of iPod, hope it can solve the bad sectors on it, which cause the pausing

My nano keeps pausing by itself even if it is on hold

i am playing music and all of a sudden the songs pause by themselves
my headphones are pluged in correctly and all the way and still the songs pause
ive tried 3 diffrent headphones including the ones that came with the ipod and it keeps happening
i have reset my ipod
as well as restored it and the same thing keeps happening i even blew in to the jack to take out dust plz i need serious help

Actually, there is one other thing you could try. You could try re-encoding a few of your songs at a different bit rate (try Constant Bit Rate 192kbps). It's a long shot though as encoding problems usually make an iPod skip, not pause.

My ipod nano keeps pausing!

I have had the ipod for six months and now while im listening to any song it just pauses even when in hold(locked).i thought it was the headsets so i went to apple and bought another pair but its still doing it. anyone know what it could be.

Start by resetting your iPod.(hold the menu and center buttons down together for 7 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen) Reset your iPod several times.
If that didn't help, then you may need to run a restore on your iPod.

Ipod nano keeps randomly pausing.

Ipod nano keeps pausing mid song and it's not the headphones... I've tried different sets of headphones & even held them in so they were flush. Still keeps happening. Been listening with no issue for about 2 hours before it started happrning all of a sudden. sometimes it will play 10 second sometimes it will [lay a few minuts but it always eventually pauses itself. Any ideas?

I just received my brand new 7th Gen iPod Nano today, ordered directly from the Apple website, and I am experiencing the exact same issue. I have tried several diffent pairs of headphones and regardless, the iPod randomly pauses. I also noticed that on occasion if I press play the iPod will indicate that it is playing music however no sound comes out of the headphones. It seems pretty clear to me the headphone jack is faulty... I suppose I'll need to get on the phone and deal with the highly inconvenient process of exchanging it. Very disappointed.

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

IPod nano 6th generation keeps pausing spontaneously

My iPod Nano Sixth Gen keeps pausing randomly and the screen keeps coming on at random times. It has only started doing this the last 2 days. Tried resetting, unplugging headphones

My iPod Nano 6th Gen keeps pausing. It does this sometimes immediately. Sometimes when the screen goes dark. Sometimes after like 15 minutes.
The screen keeps going off and on at random too.
I tried resetting the settings, resetting with the buttons, searching for additional updates, unplugging the headphone and replugging it TIGHT, and new headphones.
Not only is this annoying, but the power is draining MUCH quicker between the screen coming on and having to turn it on to restart it.

If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

Ipod keeps pausing

I have had my ipod classic (160gb) since 2007 and it has never let me down.
I normally have it plugged into my car 90% of the time with just an AUX cable but recently while listening to it as i drive it just keeps pausing.
It is as though the cable is getting pulled out of the plug. but then when i do physically pull the cable out it just keeps playing the music and doesnt pause.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Zach

I've looked around myself for answers to this same problem. Bigger issue is I have a NEW iPod Nano that does the same thing, if the jack that goes inside the Nano slightly moves it Pauses. I've had the iPod new out of the package for 3-weeks now, it's starting to increase in how frequent it pauses. Might just give Apple a ring at this point, will relay their information if any.

My iPod classic (160 gb) keeps pausing randomly in the middle of songs. What do I do to fix this?

So, I got my iPod classic about 5 months ago. Every once in a while, it will pause in the middle of a song. This usually happens soon after I lock or unlock it, and if I touch the wheel, but also happens if I let it play without touching it.
I've searched for solutions, but everyone says that their iPods keep pausing for a few seconds, then continue. When mine pauses by itself, it doesn't continue until I press the play button.
According to iTunes, my iPod is updated with the latest software. So, I reset my iPod (middle button and menu at the same time), but it didn't fix the problem. Then, with iTunes, I reset my iPod. Again, this didn't help.
It isn't because of my headphones because the same thing happened when I listened with different buds.
Does anyone know what I should do?

i to am having the same problem on my week old ipod classic did you manage to sort it out?? if so HELP please
